Tidgney posted his detailed tutorial video today.  Definitely worth a watch.

[GT Academy 2014] - Round 1 Detailed Guide!

[Turbo-Tuna]

Good laps Wiz. I only put in one session so far, and couldn't beat 1'04.2. I thought it was a pretty good lap. Maybe the tutorial would help.

Dan Holland first in the 1:02's!

Incredible time.

wow 

I got a gold time then quit.  I still have a lot of progress to make in the offline portion of the game, so for now I'd prefer spending my time on that, rather than improving times in these (more or less meaningless) portions of GTA.  That's not to say I'd be able to turn in a baller time...a low 1:04 is probably the best I could do

Freaking MMX guy makes me sick. 3 restarts, and one full lap, he runs a 1:04.179, and I can't get near it. *shakes fist*

Not sure about Chrome or MMX in a time trial but in a few races tonight that freaking Chrome guys was really fast.

That Chrome guy had it goin on.

Thanks guys, now you see why I like tuneless events. They make me look faster than I really am.

And then there were two (in the 1:02's)

Also, some guy over at GTP has created a sortable (by country) leaderboard.  http://gta2014.herokuapp.com/   Unfortunately it can only pull from the top 250.

The two most probable reasons for being faster on tuneless events are 1. You suck at tuning or 2. You are better than most at adapting to untuned cars or a combination of 1 and 2.  All options suggest to me that tuning events make you look slower that you really are not the other way around.

Well, stock is very close to a tuned cars time.  With my RBJ setup for Friday night, i can run 1'14 flat pretty easily.  At TuTu, I ran a 1'14.7xx  That's not far off in my opinion.  Chrome just doesn't want to admit he's pickin up the pace.

I do. I like to think it puts everybody closer to a level playing field, by eliminating a variable.

Chrome just doesn't want to admit he's pickin up the pace.   

I suppose anything is possible.

Round 2 - 370Z at Apricot Hill on Comfort Softs.

I'm going to fire up a leaderboard here for this round later tonight.

I think this will be a tricky one.  I expected sport hards on this car.
